Workers' Memorial Day is our opportunity to remember victims of workplace injuries and disease. It is also our opportunity to bring together workers, their families, community-based worker centers, unions, environmentalists, and other health and safety advocates in a unified effort to alert the public and the government to our outrage and our demands for action that leads to better workplace health and safety.

The collapse of Cal-OHSA with the removal of all medical doctors for California's 17 million workers along with the insurance industry's deregulation of workers compensation system has created a calamitous condition for workers and their families in California.

The California Coalition For Workers Memorial Day has been organizing annual speak-outs for injured workers and their families in California and has also fought against the corruption of workers compensation system and the elimination of protection of health and safety on the job for workers in California.
